I was told by an ayurvedic doctor (who is also a

regular MD and thus covered by provincial health

insurance) that being 100% vegetarian wasn't such a

good idea because of my dosha type, and being vegan

was absolutely out of the question.. I have a non-veg

meal, usually chicken or fish, once or twice a week

and it helps me to stay grounded.. consequently have

little patience for people - particularly the

new-agers, hard-leftists, and 1960s leftovers or

wannabe's - who claim that being a vegetarian gives

them the moral high ground or who question my

commitment to yoga/Hinduism/Sanathan Dharma/Amma's

teachings because I occasionally indulge in meat (and

beer to boot!)

 

btw, my parents are quite fond of Indian food.. my mom

even served Tandoori chicken for the passover seder

last month, along with the matzo and bitter herbs..

isn't multiculturalism wonderful
